Ordering and use
"Product took a week to ship then took another week in shipping. It was 2 weeks from when I ordered it, that it finally showed up. Once it showed up the product seems to work well as intended."
Works great for the prep, takes a lot of the blemishes out saves a lot of extra cutting….
"Love these things, wish I had them years ago…"
